The @ManyDogs paper on point-following is now available: https://www.animalbehaviorandcognition.org/article.php?id=1353
🐕 455 dogs, 20 research sites
📏 Object choice task with
(1) Ostensive condition (pointing after making eye-contact and saying dog's name)
2) Non-ostensive condition
📊 Point-following in both conditions was above chance, but there was no condition difference
📊 Dogs followed contralateral, momentary pointing at lower rates than has been previously reported

The study suggests that these vocal abilities in orangutans may have existed in ancient, extinct relatives of humans and could have influenced the development of human speech.
